Lignotuber - Wikipedia
网页Lignotubers develop from the cotyledonary bud in seedlings of several oak species including cork oak Quercus suber, but do not develop in several other oak species, and are not apparent in mature cork oak trees. [4] The fire-resistant lignotubers of Erica arborea, known as "briar root", are commonly used to make smoking pipes.
Lignotubers in Mediterranean basin plants | Plant Ecology - Springer
网页2015年11月5日 · Lignotubers were verified in 14 species in the Mediterranean basin; all being from lineages with origins dating to the Tertiary and thus pre-dating the Mediterranean climate. In A. unedo and P. angustifolia, lignotubers are macroscopically discernible in 4- and 2-year-old saplings, respectively.
The Hidden Power of Lignotubers - A Plus Tree
网页Many trees have lignotubers, a swollen reserve of starch and buds. After fire or other damage, new trees re-sprout from lignotubers.
Lignotubers - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Obligate seeders show very much higher rates of photosynthesis, growth and leaf expansion than resprouters in the first three or four years from germination (i.e. after a fire). Growth tends to be vertical at first, followed by spreading of the upper canopy to maximize interception of radiation.
Lignotubers and burls— their structure, function and ecological ...
网页Investigations of lignotuber (burl) anatomy have revealed that the wood contains dormant buds, carbohydrates, and nutrients necessary for bud development. Reproductive strategies and tactics have evolved partially in response to the frequency and severity of disturbance (e.g., fire in shrublands of Mediterranean-type ecosystems).
Live oak - Wikipedia
网页When the term live oak is used in a specific rather than general sense, it most commonly refers to the group of species under Quercus sect. Virentes, which includes the southern live oak (Quercus virginiana), the first species so named, and an icon of the Old South.
Lignotubers in Mediterranean basin plants - ResearchGate
网页2016年6月1日 · Lignotubers are swollen woody structures located at the root-shoot transition zone and contain numerous dormant buds and starch reserves. This structure enables the plant to resprout prolifically...
Live Oak Tree: Leaves, Bark, Acorns (Pictures) - Identification and ...
网页2022年12月16日 · The live oak tree is an impressive evergreen tree with sprawling branches, leathery lanceolate leaves, and dark brown or black egg-shaped acorns. Live oak trees grow rapidly, and they are beautiful specimens or shade trees for any landscape. Once established, live oaks are easy to care for and adapt well to most soil types.
Unearthing belowground bud banks in fire-prone ecosystems
网页2018年1月15日 · Terms such as lignotuber, xylopodium and sobole, all referring to belowground bud-bearing structures, are used inconsistently in the literature. Because soil efficiently insulates meristems from the heat of fire, concealing buds below ground provides fitness benefits in fire-prone ecosystems.
Identification of a molecular marker associated with lignotuber in
网页2020年2月27日 · In this study, we identified and characterized a genomic region associated with the lignotuber trait in commercially important Eucalyptus species by developing a polymorphic marker that co-segregates with lignotuber presence.
